“Eternal Star has been retired for so many years and has never been this continuously active. Why did she suddenly appear in North Blossom City? Is she really just acting as a vigilante?”
“Xinglan, do you think it’s possible that someone else is posing as Eternal Star to act heroically? It feels even more mysterious.”
Ye Xinglan pursed her lips after seeing the message. Da Tianxin just loved to let her imagination run wild with baseless things—like fantasizing about her and Eternal Star dating.
“I think it’s real. This kind of meddling and showing off is exactly what a piece of trash like her would do.”
Although Ye Xinglan habitually belittled Eternal Star, she truly believed this in her heart.
These past two days… it probably started from the day they treated Silver Bell to a meal. News of Eternal Star’s heroic deeds against Monsters and Magic Creatures had been surfacing in North Blossom City.
Ye Xinglan naturally wouldn’t miss this information. As Eternal Star’s old rival, she believed she would never mistake her. That figure was definitely Eternal Star herself!
This made Ye Xinglan’s heart itch with anticipation. She had asked Aluan to search for that bastard for so long without any definite news.
Now that the bastard was so active, wasn’t it the perfect time for her revenge?
“Xiaoxi, didn’t you know that bastard? Do you have any inside info?”
Just by looking at Ye Xinglan’s excited expression, Xiaoxi could guess what her little girlfriend was thinking.
She shifted her gaze away. “How would I? Eternal Star Senior and I aren’t even friends. She wouldn’t tell me something like this.”
“But I suggest you don’t get any bad ideas. You’re still technically under the Association’s supervision.”
Ye Xinglan snorted and turned back to search for related news. Xiaoxi suddenly received a message from the Astrologer.
‘Tianqi Church? Is Ms. Astrologer finally ready to investigate this organization?’
……
Meanwhile, in a deserted junkyard on the outskirts of North Blossom City.
Shandie, hidden within the Mirror Space, was expressionlessly applying medicine to Black Rose.
The latter had a large burn mark on her arm, and she hissed in pain during the dressing change.
The writhing black tattoos on Black Rose’s body had recovered for the most part, thanks to the friendly support of their ally, the Divine Summon Order.
“Silverflame Dragon Princess is too hard to deal with. Fighting a monster like that one after another is too much for me. Even without a Balance Scale, having such a monster stationed in North Blossom City makes it hard to move!”
Black Rose vented her frustrations to the Third Divine Envoy, who smiled slightly.
“You’ve worked hard. However, our goal is the Tianqi Church, not the Association. It’s uncertain if the Association’s Magic Girls can even help.”
Shandie listened silently while changing the dressing. She hadn’t participated in the Seeking Truth Society matter; she only knew that after the Association came knocking, Black Rose fought Silverflame Dragon Princess again and got injured.
The only part Shandie participated in regarding the Seeking Truth Society was using her Phosphorus Illusion Magic to disguise Black Rose.
The kind-faced middle-aged woman who welcomed Xiaoxi and Xiao Keke back then was actually Black Rose.
When Silverflame Dragon Princess rushed in as backup, she was also intercepted by Black Rose’s sudden attack.
Shandie considered her illusion magic flawless, capable of completely changing one’s appearance—until she saw the methods of that person from the Divine Summon Order…
Speak of the devil. The mirror serving as the entrance flashed, and Eternal Star’s figure walked into the Mirror Space.
A flash of platinum light passed. An expressionless Jingtong obediently walked over and stood by the Third Divine Envoy.
‘Too similar…’ Shandie secretly withdrew her gaze. She used to be a fan of Eternal Star and was quite familiar with the world’s number one Magic Girl.
But just now, even she couldn’t tell the difference between the fake and the real thing.
She excelled at illusion magic, so she couldn’t understand. An illusion was just an illusion. What kind of flawless mimicry could simulate even someone’s presence, Magic Power, and abilities?
“Similar, so similar,” Black Rose remarked. “Ms. Jingtong’s illusion mimicry is the strongest I’ve ever seen, second to none.”
“Illusion? Hmph,” the Third Divine Envoy snorted. “Don’t compare those low-level tricks to Jing’s ability. What Jing creates isn’t an illusion, but an identical replica!”
The Third Divine Envoy stared into Jingtong’s hollow mirror-like eyes. They were empty, dully reflecting everything in front of her.
“A replica reflected by the Mirror will naturally have no difference from the original. As long as there are enough samples for reference, Jing can even replace the original! Coincidentally, we in the Divine Summon Order have no shortage of records regarding Eternal Star.”
Black Rose nodded. Eternal Star and the Divine Summon Order had clashed countless times. Given the Order’s style, secretly recording data was nothing unusual.
“But are you sure this trick will bait the fish?”
“Of course, Ms. Black Rose. Don’t forget…” The Third Divine Envoy smiled innocently. “Hating Eternal Star is an instinct for the Saintess.”
“Originally, the target this time wasn’t the Saintess. But since the Saintess is here… the Divine Summon Order has always welcomed the Saintess back home.”
……
The next morning, watching Xiaoxi get dressed to go out, Ye Xinglan continued to ask persistently.
“Are you sure you’re not lying to me this time? You’re not deliberately hiding things to keep me at home, are you?”
“My goodness, truly not this time! It’s just a normal task arranged by the Association!”
“Think about it, I’m being sent to support the Tianqi Church. Do you think the Tianqi Church would let you, the Blood Moon Witch, come as backup? You know the Six Seats of the church are still watching you!”
Hearing Xiaoxi’s explanation, the yandere Ye Xinglan finally nodded reluctantly. She gave Xiaoxi a farewell kiss before letting her leave.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Xiaoxi went to the Tianqi Church’s territory since returning to North Blossom City… “Territory” wasn’t quite accurate.
After all, the church was just a normal church. It was just that the church high-rise—which Delta said housed the “core technology”—needed backup.
“Keke, I’m here!”
Xiaoxi saw the waiting Xiaohongmao at the church entrance. Upon seeing Sirius, the latter habitually waved enthusiastically.
“A Wolf! Over—tsk!”
Xiao Keke’s habitually enthusiastic expression suddenly froze. As if remembering something, she rolled her eyes at Xiaoxi with disgust.
Xiaoxi: “…”
‘Sometimes I really doubt if the Astrologer did this on purpose. Otherwise, why does she always arrange for me to move with Xiao Keke? And especially at a time like this!’
